Got my hands on some Starline .327 brass and some 125gr. Keith style lead bullets. Looking to find a starting point for full power loads with this bullet weight. I have only loaded 100gr. XTP's in this gun. Does anybody have any advice for this weight bullet? Have H-110, 2400, Lil Gun and W-296 on hand. Oh yeah, the gun is Ruger 8 shot Blackhawk, but may try the starting loads in a Smith 631 .327 also

I have a .327's by Ruger and USFA. A Buckeye conversion, new 8 shot and a USFA 327 Mag/32WCF convertible. For jacketed 100 gr. Speers I settled on 10.5 grs. 2400. My lead bullet shooting has been with 115 gr. Oregon Trail bullets and 5 grs. or so of W-231. Where did you get 125 gr. Keith style bullets? Sized .312?

Rim Rock Bullets, sized .313. I ordered the premium bullet, I hope the base will upset enough to seal chamber mouth's. Bullets should be in tomorrow.

As per Sixshot I shoot 12.5 to 13.5 of H-110 and they shoot great. Mine is a Reeder 30 carb. converted to 327. I shoot 125 pb and 130 grn gc. and no leading. They are water dropped.

Sal, that sounds about like I was thinking. May drop back to 11.5 H-110 as a starting point. Thanks for the input.

Don't own a 327 yet, but down loading 296 or h110 ( same powder) never is recommended, I would start at 12 and work your way up to the least amount of dispersion,
Sounds like a thumper of a load!

I hate to answer questions like this because I dont know enough about the question itself. First, I dont know how deep your 125 grain bullet intrudes in the the capacity of the case itself. Second, I only shot my loads in a custom single six or a full size Buckeye rechambered from 32 to 327. I would be guarded about making sure I worked up for each individual sixgun.
I ran a 118 grain GC LBT bullet on a case full of H110. I wont say how much it was but it was a bit more than posted above. Unless your bullet has the same crimp to nose dimension as mine, your top load will be different. I was basically shooting all the H110 I could get under the bullet. I found I could get nearly the same velocity with the heavier bullets as I could with the 100 grain class bullets on very simular powder charges. I used CCI small pistol magnum primers and worked up using a chrono. I achieved 1550 fps with my Custom 6.5" Single Six 5 shot with the 118 grain LBT GC bullet and H110. BE CAREFUL please. Be sure and update us as to your results.
